He tells me later that he should have just taken Willow to  the parking spot and carried her to the foyer. </p> <p>I said: bullshit.</p> <p>She would have been soaking wet and unhappy.</p> <p>If my son and all of us were upset over a baby crying the loss of her parent.....</p> <p>And I swear, I swear on everything I believe, that this picture of this forlorn baby girl uptop looks just like</p> <p>my little Willow bemoaning her circumstance. But Willow had all her siblings as well as a cousin attempting to allay her woes.</p> <p>THE PICTURE JUST GOT TO ME.</p> <p>And Willow has deep deep brown eyes.</p> <p>THE END</p> </div></div></div> Fri, 22 Jun 2018 01:55:45 +0000 Richard Day comment 253931 at http://dagblog.com Missy, you went nuts, just http://dagblog.com/comment/253930#comment-253930 <a id="comment-253930"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/253929#comment-253929">&quot;a seasoned and well reasoned</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Missy, you went nuts, just like me and Rachel and millions of Americans discovering that America demonstrated the same morals as Genghis Kahn.</p> <p>There is no hahahahahah in this.</p> <p>TRUMP STEAKS</p> <p>I hesitate on this one but I hereby award you the Dayly Comment of the Day Award for this here Dagblog Site, given to all of you from all of me.</p> <p>Missy, I had to read this four times in order to see what you were getting at.</p> <p>I thought the message was just anger....</p> <p>But Damn!</p> <p>Well done.</p> </div></div></div> Fri, 22 Jun 2018 01:32:28 +0000 Richard Day comment 253930 at http://dagblog.com "a seasoned and well reasoned http://dagblog.com/comment/253929#comment-253929 <a id="comment-253929"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/253913#comment-253913">I was viewing this expose of</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>"a seasoned and well reasoned leader" .... hmmm.  Suppose we turn Swift's idea on its head and consider the tastiness of a seasoned politician?  A well reasoned one would never suffice, as his very thoughtfulness would likely lead to a diet of less fat and sugars; certainly one deprived of the starchiness of diatribe.  No, not worth the pot of water in which to stew.  A well seasoned politician, on the other hand, has been around the office as his minions do the work; has let his juices settle and puddle as he begs for donations from fatcats while they eat the calories he callously offers - even as he reaps the benefits of reelection.  And the best ones ... oh, Dick, the prime cuts, the restaurant quality examples of pure, seasoned, perfection politician ... will have the Trump steaks brand.  Everything old is new again.</p> </div></div></div> Fri, 22 Jun 2018 01:11:07 +0000 barefooted comment 253929 at http://dagblog.com Thank you NCD! http://dagblog.com/comment/253915#comment-253915 <a id="comment-253915"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/253858#comment-253858">As I read somewhere else this</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Thank you NCD!</p> <p>How should we respond?</p> <p>Every goddamn day he lies.</p> <p>Every goddamn day his henchmen continue his lies.</p> <p>Do we even have to take the time to point out these lies?</p> <p>But then, in addition to his lies, he signs some fascist edict.</p> <p>WELL THEN WE HAD BETTER INVESTIGATE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THESE EDICTS AND SCREAM LOUD AND CLEAR:</p> <p>WE ARE MAD AS HELL AND WE AINT GONNA TAKE THIS ANYMORE.</p> <p> </p> </div></div></div> Thu, 21 Jun 2018 17:07:53 +0000 Richard Day comment 253915 at http://dagblog.com Thanks Mike. http://dagblog.com/comment/253914#comment-253914 <a id="comment-253914"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/253838#comment-253838">A good start, Dick, but your</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Thanks Mike.</p> <p>I was not even aware that they were sending babies on coach thousands of miles away from their mommies?</p> <p>And when I thought 'it' was all over, it turns out that the 2,000 plus kids might never see mommy or daddy again?</p> <p>and...</p> <p>AAHHHHHHHHH FUCK HIM, THE DIRTY BASTARD.</p> </div></div></div> Thu, 21 Jun 2018 17:02:15 +0000 Richard Day comment 253914 at http://dagblog.com I was viewing this expose of http://dagblog.com/comment/253913#comment-253913 <a id="comment-253913"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/253909#comment-253909">Dick, thank you for this</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I was viewing this expose of tyranny over a two day period and all of a sudden Swift's face appeared to me.</p> <p>And then, the news became worse and worser as they say.
